Thank you so much for your help, it is greatly appreciated. <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie50" alt=":happy:" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" /></p><p><br /></p><p>Regarding the 3-Standard motive, it was used by Caracalla, Geta, Elagabalus, Julia Mamaea, Severus Alexander and Gordian III.</p><p><br /></p><p>It is remarkable that the Roman provincial coins from Nicaea mix Latin and Greek letters and forms&nbsp; (e.g. V instead of Y, OY or B in AVR and SEV, AVG instead of SEB etc.)</p><p><br /></p><p>From the one&#039;s I posted, the first one, Severus Alexander, is probably the most common Roman Provincial coin and there are many variants [buste lauré ou radié, à dr.&quot;, &quot;NIKAIEΩN (sur une ou deux lignes)&quot;], and all of them are SGICV 3287 and Rec Gen II p. 477, 617; most collectors consider this type totally uninteresting, or even boring, although there are some collectors that like to collect the variants.</p><p><br /></p><p>The second one is from Elagabalus because on his coins the letters are between the standards and not below as on the reverse of Severus Alexander.
